The great white was tagged by OCEARCH in Nova Scotia and is named after the explorer John Cabot, according to OCEARCH’s website, ocearch.org.

Since its first ping recorded Oct. 14, 2018, near Nova Scotia, Cabot has roamed the Atlantic all the way south of Florida and back up north, racking up nearly 4,000 miles of travel, according to OCEARCH shark tracker’s travel log for the shark.

“One of the absolute best parts of the job is watching the incredible transformation that people go through from the point they step on the vessel usually terrified at the thought of what they are about to do,” Ramsey says. Afterward, the most common reaction is one of admiration and respect. Juan Oliphant, OneOceanDiving.com
